1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
David hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Ziklek vangpui to ni thumto hoiah phak o, to naah Amalek kaminawk mah aloih bang hoiah Ziklek to tuk o; Ziklek to tuk o moe, hmai hoiah qoeng o.
2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
Nihcae mah to ah kaom mitong hoi nawktanawk to maeto doeh hum o ai; toe nongpatanawk to naeh o moe, misong ah hoih o.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
David hoi anih ih kaminawk Ziklek vangpui to phak o naah, khenah, vangpui loe hmai hoiah qoeng o moe, nihcae ih zu, a caanawk hoi canunawk to naeh pae o ving boeh.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
To pongah David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe thazok o moe, qah thai ai khoek to tha hoiah qah o.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
David ih zu hnik, Jezreel vangpui ih Ahinoam hoi Karmel vangpui ih Nabal zu Abigail doeh naeh pae o ving.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in Yhwh his God.
David loe paroeai poek angpho; kaminawk loe angmacae ih canu hoi capanawk nuiah palungset o pongah, David to thlung hoiah vah han thuih o; toe David loe Angraeng oephaih hoiah oh.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
To naah David mah Ahimalek capa qaima Abiathar khaeah, Kahni to na sin ah, tiah a naa. To naah Abiathar mah kahni to David hanah a sin pae.
8 And David enquired at Yhwh, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
David mah Angraeng khaeah, Hae misatuh kaminawk hae ka patom han maw? Ka kae tih maw? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Patom ah, na kae ueloe, nihcae to na pahlong boih let tih, tiah pathim pae.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
To pongah David loe angmah ih kami cumvai tarukto hoiah caeh, Besor vacong to a phak o; thoemto kaminawk loe to ahmuen ah oh o.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
Kami cumvai hnettonawk loe angpho o parai boeh pongah, Besor vacong doeh pha o thai ai, hnukah oh o sut; toe David hoi a taengah kaom kami cumvai palitonawk mah nihcae to patom o poe.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
Nihcae mah lawk ah kaom Izip kami maeto hnuk o, anih to David khaeah caeh o haih; nihcae mah to kami hanah takaw to paek o, anih mah takaw to caak; naek hanah tui doeh a paek o;
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
thaiduet thaih hoiah sak ih takaw phaek, misur thaih kazaek hoiah sak ih takaw hnetto a paek o, anih mah takaw caak pacoengah, tha oh let. Anih loe ni thumto pacoeng qum thumto thung buhcaa ai moe, tui doeh nae ai ah oh.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
David mah anih khaeah, Nang loe naa ih kami maw? Naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kai loe Izip kami, Amalek kami maeto ih tamna ah ka oh; hnukbang ni thumto thung ngan ka nat, to naah ka angraeng mah ang cawnh taak ving.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Kereth kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen aloih bang, Judah prae hoi Kaleb prae aloih bang to ka tuk o pacoengah, Ziklek vangpui to hmai hoiah ka thlaek o, tiah a naa.
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
David mah anih khaeah, To kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah loklam nang patuek thai tih maw? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Nang hae kang hum mak ai, ka angraeng ban ah doeh kang paek mak ai, tiah Sithaw hmaa ah lok na kam nahaeloe, nihcae ohhaih ahmuen ah kang caeh haih han, tiah a naa.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Anih mah David to caeh haih tathuk, khenah, to kaminawk loe Philistin hoi Judah prae thung ih hmuennawk to a lak o, to pongah taw boih ah ampraek o; a naek o, a caak o moe, hnawhaih hoiah khosak o.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
David mah nihcae to khawnbang khoving hmuep nathuem hoi kamtong duembang khoek to tuk pongah, kaengkuu hrang cumvai palito hoi kacawn thendoengnawk ai ah loe, kami maeto doeh loih o ai.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
Amalek kaminawk mah lak o ih hmuennawk boih to David mah lak let; a zu hnik doeh pahlong let.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
Nihcae ih hmuen tidoeh anghmaa ai, nawktanawk, mitongnawk, canunawk, capanawk, nihcae mah lak o ih hmuennawk boih David mah lak pae boih let.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
Maitawnawk hoi tuunawk doeh lak o let, David ih hmuen ni, tiah thuih o pacoengah, to maitawnawk to anih ih kaminawk mah hmaabang ah huih o.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
David loe angpho qawt boeh pongah hnukah bang thai ai, Besor vacong ah caeh o taak ih kami cumvai hnettonawk khaeah a caeh let. To kaminawk loe David hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk dawt hanah caeh o; David mah kaminawk khae phak naah, nihcae to bansin.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
Toe David hoi nawnto caeh kahoih ai kaminawk hoi kasae kaminawk mah, Hae kaminawk loe aicae hoi nawnto caeh o ai pongah, lak ih hmuennawk paek hmah si, kami boih mah angmacae ih zu hoi a caanawk to la o nasoe loe, caeh o lai nasoe, tiah thuih o.
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Yhwh hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
David mah nihcae khaeah, Nawkamyanawk, to tiah na ai ni; aicae bomkung, aicae katuh paroeai pop kaminawk aicae ban ah paekkung, Angraeng mah paek ih hmuenmaenawk loe to tiah sak han om ai.
24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
Hae tiah na thuih o ih lok hae mi mah maw tahngai tih? Misatuh kaminawk mah hak o ih hmuen zetto hmuenmae toep kaminawk mah doeh hak o toeng han oh; kaminawk boih kangvan ah amzet han oh, tiah a naa.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
To na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, Israel kaminawk thungah to baktih daan to David mah sak pae.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yhwh;
David Ziklek vangpui phak naah, a lak ih hmuennawk to Judah kacoehtanawk hoi angmah ih ampuinawk khaeah pat pae; Angraeng ih misanawk khae hoi ka lak ih hmuen hae tangqum ah kang pat, tiah a naa.
27 To them which were in Beth–el, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
To ih hmuennawk to Bethel vangpui, Ramoth vangpui aloih bang hoi Jattir vangpui aloih bang,
28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
Aroer vangpui, Sipmoth vangpui, Eshtemoa vangpui,
29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
Rakal vangpui ah kaom kaminawk, Jerameeli vangpui hoi Ken kaminawk ohhaih vangpuinawk,
30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor–ashan, and to them which were in Athach,

31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
Hebron vangpui ih kaminawk, David hoi anih ih kaminawk ohhaih vangpui ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah a pat pae.
